Do you use a laptop or netbook? If you do, we do not recommend using a laptop or netbook on your bed or sofa because they can overheat due to poor circulation, but most importantly you might accidentally sleep on it like what happened to this notebook.

This Dell Latitude D630 laptop suffered an 8 hour ordeal of getting rolled over several times which finally ended by falling off the bed and landing on a hard wood floor. Which in return, cracked the screen and left side of the LCD bezel. The right hinge, one key, and also the right side of the power button hinge cover all broke. We were able to safe this notebook and it is now back into service, working 100%.

Take a look at the damage:

LifeProof deduts their new line of waterproof cases at CE Week 2013.

The LifeProof Nuud and the Fre are now available for the iPhone 5, iPad and iPad mini. Later this year they will be avaiable for the Samsung Galaxy III and IV. The biggest difference between the Nuud and the Fre, is the Nuud has an open face, meaning it’s exposed. There is no screen cover so you will not get better sensitivity and no issues with double tapping. The case seals tightly around your screen so no water can get though. The Nuud comes in two colors, black and white and retails for $89.99. The Fre only comes in black and retails for $79.99.
